1. BASIS OF PREPARATION AND SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

(a) Statement of compliance

The interim consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with IAS 34, Interim Financial Reporting. 

Certain information and footnote disclosures normally included in the annual audited consolidated financial statements prepared in accordance with International Financial Reporting Standards (“IFRS”), as issued by the International Accounting Standards Board (“IASB”), have been omitted or condensed. These interim consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with Brookfield Renewable’s December 31, 2019 audited consolidated financial statements. The interim consolidated statements have been prepared on a basis consistent with the accounting policies disclosed in the December 31, 2019 audited consolidated financial statements.

The interim consolidated financial statements are unaudited and reflect adjustments (consisting of normal recurring adjustments) that are, in the opinion of management, necessary to provide a fair statement of results for the interim periods in accordance with IFRS.

The results reported in these interim consolidated financial statements should not be regarded as necessarily indicative of results that may be expected for an entire year. The policies set out below are consistently applied to all periods presented, unless otherwise noted. 

These consolidated financial statements have been authorized for issuance by the Board of Directors of Brookfield Renewable’s general partner, BRPL, on November 4, 2020.

Certain comparative figures have been reclassified to conform to the current year’s presentation.

References to $, C$, €, R$, COP, INR, THB and ZAR are to United States (“U.S.”) dollars, Canadian dollars, Euros, Brazilian reais, Colombian pesos, Indian Rupees, Thai baht, and South African Rands, respectively.

All figures are presented in millions of U.S. dollars unless otherwise noted.

(b) Basis of preparation

The interim consolidated financial statements have been prepared on the basis of historical cost, except for the revaluation of property, plant and equipment and certain assets and liabilities which have been measured at fair value. Cost is recorded based on the fair value of the consideration given in exchange for assets.

(c) Brookfield Renewable Corporation

On September 9, 2019, Brookfield Renewable Corporation (“BEPC” or the "company") was established by the partnership. On July 29, 2020, Brookfield Renewable contributed its renewable power assets in the United States, Brazil and Colombia (excluding a 10% interest in certain Brazilian and Colombian operations, which will continue to be held indirectly by the partnership) to BEPC. On July 30, 2020, Brookfield Renewable completed a special distribution (the “special distribution”) whereby unitholders of record as of July 27, 2020 (the “Record Date”) received one class A exchangeable subordinate voting share of BEPC (“exchangeable share”) for every four units held. Immediately prior to the special distribution, Brookfield Renewable received exchangeable shares through a distribution by BRELP (the "BRELP" distribution) of the exchangeable shares to all of its unitholders. As a result of the BRELP Distribution, (i) Brookfield and its subsidiaries received approximately 33.1 million exchangeable shares and (ii) Brookfield Renewable received approximately 44.7 million exchangeable shares, which it subsequently distributed to unitholders, including Brookfield, pursuant to the special distribution. Upon completion of the special distribution, (i) holders of units held approximately 42.8% of the issued and outstanding exchangeable shares (ii) Brookfield and its affiliates held approximately 57.2% of the issued and outstanding exchangeable shares, and (iii) a subsidiary of Brookfield Renewable owned all of the issued and outstanding class B multiple voting shares, or class B shares, which represent a 75.0% voting interest in BEPC, and all of the issued and outstanding class C non-voting shares, or class C shares, of BEPC, which entitle Brookfield Renewable to the residual value in BEPC after payment in full of the amount due to holders of exchangeable shares and class B shares. Brookfield Renewable directly and indirectly controlled BEPC prior to the special distribution and continues to control BEPC subsequent to the special distribution through its interests in BEPC. The exchangeable shares are listed on the New York Stock Exchange and the Toronto Stock Exchange under the symbol “BEPC”.

Brookfield Renewable Partners L.P.	Q3 2020 interim Consolidated Financial Statements and Notes	September 30, 2020
		Page 9

i) Exchangeable Shares

At any time, holders of exchangeable shares shall have the right to exchange all or a portion of their shares for one LP unit per exchangeable share held or its cash equivalent based on the NYSE closing price of one LP unit on the date that the request for exchange is received, on a fixed-for-fixed basis. The partnership has the ability to elect to satisfy the exchange of the exchangeable shares for LP units or its cash equivalent when the exchange is requested by the shareholder. Additionally, BEPC and the partnership have the ability to redeem all exchangeable shares for LP units at our election, on a fixed-for-fixed basis.

As a result of the share characteristics, exchangeable shares have been classified as non-controlling interests in the interim condensed consolidated financial statements of our partnership.

ii) Basic and diluted income per unit:

The special distribution resulted in the issuance of approximately 77.8 million exchangeable shares. All historical per unit disclosures have been retroactively adjusted for the impact of the special distribution.

iii) Acquisition of TerraForm Power

On July 31, 2020, Brookfield Renewable completed the acquisition of TerraForm Power pursuant to which Brookfield Renewable acquired all of the Class A common stock of TerraForm Power not owned by Brookfield Renewable or its affiliates (“public TerraForm Power shares”), representing a 38% interest in TerraForm Power (the “TerraForm Power acquisition”). Pursuant to the TerraForm Power acquisition, each holder of public TerraForm Power shares received 0.47625 of an exchangeable share of BEPC or of a partnership unit for each public TerraForm Power share held by such holder. The TerraForm Power acquisition was completed in exchange for 37,035,241 exchangeable shares and 4,034,469 LP units.

Simultaneously with the completion of the TerraForm Power acquisition, Brookfield Renewable entered into voting agreements with certain indirect subsidiaries of Brookfield to transfer the power to vote their respective shares held in TerraForm Power to Brookfield Renewable. As a result, the company controls and consolidates TerraForm Power. The transfer of control of TerraForm Power to Brookfield Renewable is considered to be a transaction between entities under common control and was valued based on Brookfield’s carrying value in TerraForm Power. The results of TerraForm Power that were not owned by Brookfield Renewable will be presented as non-controlling interests to Brookfield Renewable's retrospectively to October 17, 2017, corresponding to all historical periods that TerraForm Power was under common control.

(d) Consolidation

These consolidated financial statements include the accounts of Brookfield Renewable and its subsidiaries, which are the entities over which Brookfield Renewable has control. An investor controls an investee when it is exposed, or has rights, to variable returns from its involvement with the investee and has the ability to affect those returns through its power over the investee. Non-controlling interests in the equity of the company’s subsidiaries are shown separately in equity in the combined statements of financial position.

Brookfield Renewable has entered into a voting agreement with Brookfield, which provides Brookfield Renewable with control of the general partner of Brookfield Renewable Energy L.P. (“BRELP”), a holding subsidiary. Accordingly, Brookfield Renewable consolidates the accounts of BRELP and its subsidiaries. In addition, BRELP issued redeemable/exchangeable limited partnership units to Brookfield (“Redeemable/Exchangeable Partnership Units”), pursuant to which the holder may at its request require BRELP to redeem the Redeemable/Exchangeable Partnership Units for cash consideration. This right is subject to Brookfield Renewable's right of first refusal which entitles it, at its sole discretion, to elect to acquire all of the Redeemable/Exchangeable Partnership Units so presented to BRELP that are tendered for redemption in exchange for LP units on a one for one basis. As Brookfield Renewable, at its sole discretion, has the right to settle the obligation with LP units, the Redeemable/Exchangeable Partnership Units are classified as equity of Brookfield Renewable (“Participating non-controlling interests – in a holding subsidiary – Redeemable/Exchangeable Units held by Brookfield”).

Brookfield Renewable has entered into voting agreements with Brookfield, whereby the company gained control of the entities that own certain renewable power generating operations in the United States, Brazil, Europe and other countries (including Asia). Brookfield Renewable has also entered into a voting agreement with its consortium partners in respect of its Colombian operations. These voting agreements provide Brookfield Renewable the authority to direct the election of the Boards of Directors of the relevant entities, among other things, and therefore provide Brookfield Renewable with

Brookfield Renewable Partners L.P.	Q3 2020 interim Consolidated Financial Statements and Notes	September 30, 2020
		Page 10

control. Accordingly, Brookfield Renewable consolidates the accounts of these entities. Refer to Note 19 – Related party transactions for further information.

For entities previously controlled by Brookfield Asset Management, the voting agreements entered into do not represent business combinations in accordance with IFRS 3, Business Combinations (“IFRS 3”), as all combining businesses are ultimately controlled by Brookfield Asset Management both before and after the transactions were completed. Brookfield Renewable accounts for these transactions involving entities under common control in a manner similar to a pooling of interest, which requires the presentation of pre-voting agreement financial information as if the transactions had always been in place. Refer to Brookfield Renewable's 2019 Annual Report Note 1(r)(ii) – Critical judgments in applying accounting policies – Common control transactions for the company’s policy on accounting for transactions under common control.

(e) Tax equity structures

Brookfield Renewable owns and operates certain projects in the U.S. under tax equity structures to finance the construction of solar and wind projects. Such structures are designed to allocate renewable tax incentives, such as investment tax credits ("ITCs"), production tax credits ("PTCs") and accelerated tax depreciation, to tax equity investors. Generally, tax equity structures grant the tax equity investors the majority of the project's U.S. taxable earnings and renewable tax incentives, along with a smaller portion of the projects' cash flows, until a contractually determined point at which the allocations are adjusted (the "Flip Point"). Subsequent to the Flip Point the majority of the project’s U.S. tax able earnings, renewable tax incentives and cash flows are allocated to the sponsor. The Flip Point dates are generally dependent on the underlying projects’ reaching an agreed upon after tax investment return, however, from time to time, the Flip Point dates may be dates specified within the contract. At all times, both before and after the projects' Flip Point, the company retains control over the projects financed with a tax-equity structure. In accordance with the substance of the contractual agreements, the amounts paid by the tax equity investors for their equity stakes are classified as financial instrument liabilities on the consolidated statements of financial position and at each reporting date are remeasured to their fair value in accordance with IFRS 9.

The fair value of the tax equity financing is generally comprised of the following elements:

Elements affecting the fair value of the tax equity financing	Description
Production tax credits (PTCs)	Allocation of PTCs to the tax equity investor are derived from the power generated during the period. The PTCs are recognized in other income with a corresponding reduction to the tax equity liability.
Investment tax credits (ITCs)	ITCs are earned and allocated to the tax equity investor when the qualifying equipment is placed in service. When earned ITCs are recognized as a reduction of the carrying value of the qualifying equipment with a corresponding reduction of the tax equity liability.
Taxable income (loss), including tax attributes such as accelerated tax depreciation	Under the terms of the tax equity agreements, the company is required to allocate specified percentages of taxable income (loss) to the tax equity investor. As amounts are allocated the obligation to deliver them is satisfied and a reduction to the tax equity liability is recorded with a corresponding amount recorded within other on the statement of income and loss.
Pay-go contributions	Certain of the contracts contain annual production thresholds. When the thresholds are exceeded the tax equity investor is required to contribute additional cash amounts. The cash amounts paid increase the value of the tax equity liability.
Cash distributions	Certain of the contracts also require cash distributions to the tax equity investor. Upon payment the tax equity liability is reduced in the amount of the cash distribution.

(f) Recently adopted accounting standards

In August 2020, the IASB published Interest Rate Benchmark Reform - Amendments to IFRS 9, IAS 39, IFRS 7, IFRS 4 and IFRS 16 (“Phase II Amendments”), effective January 1, 2021, with early adoption permitted. The Phase II Amendments provide additional guidance to address issues that will arise during the transition of benchmark interest rates. The Phase II Amendment primarily relate to the modification of financial instruments, allowing for prospective application of the applicable benchmark interest rate and continued application of hedge accounting, provided the amended hedging relationship continues to meet all qualifying criteria.

Brookfield Renewable is currently completing an assessment and implementing its transition plan to address the impact and effect of changes as a result of amendments to the contractual terms of IBOR referenced floating-rate borrowings, interest rate swaps, interest rate caps, and updating hedge designations. We expect to have completed our assessment in advance of 1 January 2021. The adoption is not expected to have a significant impact on our company.

Brookfield Renewable has not early adopted any other standards, interpretations or amendments that have been issued but are not yet effective.

2. ACQUISITIONS

Spanish CSP Portfolio

On February 11, 2020, Brookfield Renewable, through its investment in TerraForm Power, completed the acquisition of 100% of a portfolio of two concentrated solar power facilities (together, "Spanish CSP Portfolio") located in Spain with a combined nameplate capacity of approximately 100 MW. The purchase price of this acquisition, including working capital adjustments, was €116 million ($127 million). The total acquisition costs of less than $1 million were expensed as incurred and have been classified under Other in the consolidated statement of income.

This investment was accounted for using the acquisition method, and the results of operations have been included in the unaudited interim consolidated financial statements since the date of the acquisition. If the acquisition had taken place at the beginning of the year, the revenue from the Spanish CSP Portfolio would have been $73 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2020.

The preliminary purchase price allocation, at fair value, with respect to the acquisition is as follows:

(MILLIONS)	Spanish CSP Portfolio
Cash and cash equivalents	$	22
Restricted cash	27
Trade receivables and other current assets	33
Property, plant and equipment	661
Deferred tax assets	14
Other non-current assets	8
Current liabilities	(17)
Financial instruments	(148)
Non-recourse borrowings	(469)
Other long-term liabilities	(45)
Fair value of net assets acquired	86

3. DISPOSAL OF ASSETS

In March 2020, Brookfield Renewable, along with its institutional partners, completed the sale of a 39 MW portfolio of solar assets in Thailand. The total consideration was THB 3,079 million ($94 million) and Brookfield Renewable’s interest in the portfolio was approximately 31%. This resulted in a loss on disposition of $12 million ($4 million net to Brookfield Renewable) recognized in the consolidated statements of income under Other. Immediately prior to the classification of the portfolio as held for sale in 2018, Brookfield Renewable performed a revaluation of the property, plant & equipment, in line with its election to apply the revaluation method and recorded a fair value uplift of $42 million. As a result of the disposition, Brookfield Renewable's portion of the accumulated revaluation surplus of $13 million post-tax was reclassified from other comprehensive income directly to equity and noted as an Other item in the consolidated statements of changes in equity.

In September 2020, Brookfield Renewable, along with its institutional partners, sold its interest in a 33 MW solar facility in South Africa to a third party for gross cash consideration of ZAR 300 million ($18 million), resulting in a loss on disposition of $4 million recognized in the consolidated statements of income under Other. The total proceeds, net of foreign exchange contract settlements, was $25 million ($8 million net to Brookfield Renewable). Immediately prior to the classification of the portfolio as held for sale in 2018, Brookfield Renewable performed a revaluation of the property, plant & equipment, in line with its election to apply the revaluation method and recorded a fair value uplift of $22 million as a result. Brookfield Renewable’s interest was approximately 31%. As a result of the disposition, Brookfield Renewable's portion of the accumulated revaluation surplus of $7 million post-tax was reclassified from other comprehensive income directly to equity and noted as an Other item on the consolidated statements of changes in equity.

Summarized financial information relating to the disposals are shown below:

(MILLIONS)	Total
Proceeds	$	112

Subsequent to quarter end, Brookfield Renewable entered into an agreement for the sale of a 47 MW wind portfolio in Ireland ("Irish wind portfolio") for proceeds of $140 million ($55 million net to Brookfield Renewable). The transaction is subject to closing conditions, including regulatory and lender approvals. Brookfield Renewable holds a 39% economic interest and 100% voting interest in the Irish wind portfolio. A revaluation of the Irish wind portfolio was performed in accordance with our accounting policy election to apply the revaluation method. The cumulative amount recognized in other comprehensive income relating to limited partners’ equity for the Irish wind portfolio is $9 million.

The following is a summary of the major items of assets and liabilities classified as held for sale:

5.  RISK MANAGEMENT AND FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS

RISK MANAGEMENT

Brookfield Renewable`s activities expose it to a variety of financial risks, including market risk (i.e., commodity price risk, interest rate risk, and foreign currency risk), credit risk and liquidity risk. Brookfield Renewable uses financial instruments primarily to manage these risks.

COVID-19 pandemic has impacted business across the globe and we are monitoring its impact on our business.  While it is difficult to predict how significant the impact of COVID-19 will be, our business is highly resilient given we are an owner, operator and investor in one of the most critical sectors in the world and have a robust balance sheet with a strong investment grade rating.  We generate revenues that are predominantly backed by long-term contracts with well diversified creditworthy counterparties.  The majority of our assets can be operated from centralized control centers and our operators around the world have implemented contingency plans to ensure operations, maintenance and capital programs continue with little disruption. 

There have been no other material changes in exposure to the risks Brookfield Renewable is exposed to since the December 31, 2019 audited consolidated financial statements.

Fair value disclosures

Fair value is the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date.

Fair values determined using valuation models require the use of assumptions concerning the amount and timing of estimated future cash flows and discount rates. In determining those assumptions, management looks primarily to external readily observable market inputs such as interest rate yield curves, currency rates, commodity prices and, as applicable, credit spreads.

A fair value measurement of a non-financial asset is the consideration that would be received in an orderly transaction between market participants, considering the highest and best use of the asset.

Assets and liabilitiesmeasured at fair value are categorized into one of three hierarchy levels, described below. Each level is based on the transparency of the inputs used to measure the fair values of assets and liabilities.

Level 1 – inputs are based on unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical assets and liabilities;

Level 2 – inputs, other than quoted prices in Level 1, that are observable for the asset or liability, either directly or indirectly; and

Level 3 – inputs for the asset or liability that are not based on observable market data.

6. SEGMENTED INFORMATION

Brookfield Renewable’s Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer (collectively, the chief operating decision maker or “CODM”) review the results of the business, manage operations, and allocate resources based on the type of technology.

Our operations are segmented by – 1) hydroelectric, 2) wind, 3) solar, 4) storage & other (cogeneration and biomass), and 5) corporate – with hydroelectric and wind further segmented by geography (i.e., North America, Colombia, Brazil, Europe and Asia). This best reflects the way in which the CODM reviews results, manages operations and allocates resources. The Colombia segment aggregates the financial results of its hydroelectric and cogeneration facilities. The Canada segment includes the financial results of our strategic investment in TransAlta Corporation ("TransAlta"). The corporate segment represents all activity performed above the individual segments for the business.

Reporting to the CODM on the measures utilized to assess performance and allocate resources is provided on a proportionate basis. Information on a proportionate basis reflects Brookfield Renewable’s share from facilities which it accounts for using consolidation and the equity method whereby Brookfield Renewable either controls or exercises significant influence or joint control over the investment, respectively. Proportionate information provides a Unitholder (holders of the GP interest, Redeemable/Exchangeable partnership units, exchangeable shares and LP units) perspective that the CODM considers important when performing internal analyses and making strategic and operating decisions. The CODM also believes that providing proportionate information helps investors understand the impacts of decisions made by management and financial results allocable to Brookfield Renewable’s Unitholders.

Proportionate financial information is not, and is not intended to be, presented in accordance with IFRS. Tables reconciling IFRS data with data presented on a proportionate consolidation basis have been disclosed. Segment revenues, other income, direct operating costs, interest expense, depreciation, current and deferred income taxes, and other are items that will differ from results presented in accordance with IFRS as these items include Brookfield Renewable’s proportionate share of earnings from equity-accounted investments attributable to each of the above-noted items, and exclude the proportionate share of earnings (loss) of consolidated investments not held by us apportioned to each of the above-noted items.

Brookfield Renewable does not control those entities that have not been consolidated and as such, have been presented as equity-accounted investments in its consolidated financial statements. The presentation of the assets and liabilities and revenues and expenses does not represent Brookfield Renewable’s legal claim to such items, and the removal of financial statement amounts that are attributable to non-controlling interests does not extinguish Brookfield Renewable’s legal claims or exposures to such items.

Brookfield Renewable reports its results in accordance with these segments and presents prior period segmented information in a consistent manner.

In accordance with IFRS 8, Operating Segments, Brookfield Renewable discloses information about its reportable segments based upon the measures used by the CODM in assessing performance. Except as it relates to proportionate financial information discussed above, the accounting policies of the reportable segments are the same as those described in Note 1 – Basis of preparation and significant accounting policies. Brookfield Renewable analyzes the performance of its operating segments based on revenues, Adjusted EBITDA, and Funds From Operations. Adjusted EBITDA and Funds From Operations are not generally accepted accounting measures under IFRS and therefore may differ from definitions of Adjusted EBITDA and Funds From Operations used by other entities.

Brookfield Renewable uses Adjusted EBITDA to assess the performance of its operations before the effects of interest expense, income taxes, depreciation, management service costs, non-controlling interests, gain or loss on financial instruments, non-cash gain or loss from equity-accounted investments, distributions to preferred shareholders and preferred limited partners and other typical non-recurring items.

Brookfield Renewable uses Funds From Operations to assess the performance of its operations and is defined as Adjusted EBITDA less management service costs, interest and current income taxes, which is then adjusted for the cash portion of non-controlling interests and distributions to preferred shareholders and preferred limited partners.

Brookfield, as the owner of the 1% general partnership interest in BRELP held by Brookfield (“GP interest”), is entitled to regular distributions plus an incentive distribution based on the amount by which quarterly distributions exceed specified target levels. To the extent that LP unit distributions exceed $0.300 per LP unit per quarter, the incentive distribution is 15% of distributions above this threshold. To the extent that quarterly LP unit distributions exceed $0.338 per LP unit, the incentive distribution is equal to 25% of distributions above this threshold.

18. COMMITMENTS, CONTINGENCIES AND GUARANTEES

Commitments

In the course of its operations, Brookfield Renewable and its subsidiaries have entered into agreements for the use of water, land and dams. Payment under those agreements varies with the amount of power generated. The various agreements can be renewed and are extendable up to 2089.

Brookfield Renewable, alongside institutional partners, entered into a commitment to invest approximately $34 million to acquire a 210 MW solar development portfolio in Brazil. The transaction is expected to close in the fourth quarter of 2020, subject to customary closing conditions, with Brookfield Renewable expected to hold a 25% interest.

Subsequent to quarter-end, Brookfield Renewable, alongside institutional partners, completed the acquisition of a 1,200 MW solar development portfolio in Brazil for approximately $46 million, which are targeted for commercial operations in early 2023, with Brookfield Renewable expected to hold a 25% interest.

An integral part of Brookfield Renewable’s strategy is to participate with institutional investors in Brookfield-sponsored private equity funds that target acquisitions that suit Brookfield Renewable’s profile. In the normal course of business, Brookfield Renewable has made commitments to Brookfield-sponsored private equity funds to participate in these target acquisitions in the future, if and when identified.

Contingencies

In the normal course of business, from time to time, Brookfield Renewable is involved in legal proceedings to the ownership and operations of our fleet. In this regard, TerraForm Power is subject to litigation with respect to an earn-out payment for the acquisition of development assets that SunEdison acquired from the First Wind Sellers in 2014. This claim precedes our initial investment in TerraForm Power in 2017. Additionally, TerraForm Power is subject to litigation relating to a private placement to Brookfield Renewable and affiliates completed in 2018. We cannot predict the impact of pending litigation, nor can we predict the amount of time and expense that will be required to resolve such litigation.

Brookfield Renewable, on behalf of Brookfield Renewable’s subsidiaries, and the subsidiaries themselves have provided letters of credit, which include, but are not limited to, guarantees for debt service reserves, capital reserves, construction completion and performance. The activity on the issued letters of credit by Brookfield Renewable can be found in Note 9 – Borrowings.

Brookfield Renewable, along with institutional investors, has provided letters of credit, which include, but are not limited to, guarantees for debt service reserves, capital reserves, construction completion and performance as it relates to interests in the Brookfield Americas Infrastructure Fund, the Brookfield Infrastructure Fund II, the Brookfield Infrastructure Fund III, and the Brookfield Infrastructure Fund IV. Brookfield Renewable’s subsidiaries have similarly provided letters of credit, which include, but are not limited to, guarantees for debt service reserves, capital reserves, construction completion and performance.

Letters of credit issued by Brookfield Renewable along with institutional investors and its subsidiaries were as at the following dates:  

(MILLIONS)	September 30, 2020		December 31, 2019
Brookfield Renewable along with institutional investors	$	47	$	50
Brookfield Renewable's subsidiaries	565		668
	$	612	$	718

Guarantees

In the normal course of operations, Brookfield Renewable and its subsidiaries execute agreements that provide for indemnification and guarantees to third parties of transactions such as business dispositions, capital project purchases, business acquisitions, and sales and purchases of assets and services. Brookfield Renewable has also agreed to indemnify its directors and certain of its officers and employees. The nature of substantially all of the indemnification undertakings prevents Brookfield Renewable from making a reasonable estimate of the maximum potential amount that Brookfield Renewable could be required to pay third parties as the agreements do not always specify a maximum amount and the amounts are dependent upon the outcome of future contingent events, the nature and likelihood of which cannot be determined at this time. Historically, neither Brookfield Renewable nor its subsidiaries have made material payments under such indemnification agreements.

19. RELATED PARTY TRANSACTIONS

Brookfield Renewable`s related party transactions are recorded at the exchange amount. Brookfield Renewable`s related party transactions are primarily with Brookfield Asset Management.

Brookfield Renewable and Brookfield have entered into, or amended, the following material agreements during the period:

Principal Agreements

TERP Brookfield Master Service Agreement

Since the acquisition of TerraForm Power on October 16, 2017, TerraForm Power had a management agreement (“TERP Brookfield Master Services Agreement”) with Brookfield. Prior to the company's acquisition of TerraForm Power, pursuant to the TerraForm Power Master Services Agreements, TerraForm Power paid management service costs on a quarterly basis calculated as follows:

•For each of the first four quarters following October 16, 2017, a fixed component of $2.5 million per quarter (subject to proration for the quarter including October 16, 2017) plus 0.3125% of the market capitalization value increase for such quarter;

•For each of the next four quarters, a fixed component of $3.0 million per quarter adjusted annually for inflation plus 0.3125% of the market capitalization value increase for such quarter; and

•Thereafter, a fixed component of $3.75 million per quarter adjusted annually for inflation plus 0.3125% of the market capitalization value increase for such quarter.

For purposes of calculating its management service costs, the term market capitalization value increase meant, for any quarter, the increase in value of TerraForm Power’s market capitalization for such quarter, calculated by multiplying the number of outstanding shares of TerraForm Power’s common stock as of the last trading day of such quarter by the difference between (x) the volume weighted average trading price of a share of common stock for the trading days in such quarter and (y) $9.52. If the difference between (x) and (y) in the market capitalization value increase calculation for a quarter was a negative number, then the market capitalization value increase was deemed to be zero. TerraForm Power’s management service costs have been included in the company’s interim statement of income based on its historical records.

The TERP Brookfield Master Services Agreement was terminated upon the completion of the TerraForm Power acquisition.

Governance Agreement

TerraForm Power entered into a governance agreement, referred to as the Governance Agreement, dated October 16, 2017 with Orion Holdings and any controlled affiliate of Brookfield Asset Management (other than TerraForm Power and its

controlled affiliates) that by the terms of the Governance Agreement from time to time becomes a party thereto, collectively referred to as the sponsor group.

The Governance Agreement established certain rights and obligations of TerraForm Power and certain controlled affiliates of Brookfield Asset Management that own voting securities of TerraForm Power relating to the governance of TerraForm Power.

On June 11, 2018, Orion Holdings, NA HoldCo and TerraForm Power entered into a Joinder Agreement pursuant to which NA HoldCo became a party to the Governance Agreement. On June 29, 2018, a second Joinder Agreement was entered into among Orion Holdings, NA HoldCo, BBHC Orion and TerraForm Power pursuant to which BBHC Orion became a party to the Governance Agreement.

The Governance Agreement was terminated upon the completion of the TerraForm Power acquisition.

Voting Agreements

Simultaneously with the completion of the TerraForm Power acquisition, Brookfield Renewable entered into voting agreements with certain indirect subsidiaries of Brookfield to transfer the power to vote their respective shares held of TerraForm Power to Brookfield Renewable. As a result, our company controls and consolidates TerraForm Power.

Other Agreements

Sponsor Line Agreement

On October 16, 2017, the company entered into the Sponsor Line with Brookfield Asset Management and one of its affiliates (the “Lenders”). The Sponsor Line established a $500 million secured revolving credit facility and provided for the Lenders to commit to make LIBOR loans to the company during a period not to exceed three years from the effective date of the Sponsor Line (subject to acceleration for certain specified events). The company was only permitted to use the revolving Sponsor Line to fund all or a portion of certain funded acquisitions or growth capital expenditures. The Sponsor Line was to terminate, and all obligations thereunder become payable, no later than October 16, 2022. Borrowings under the Sponsor Line bear interest at a rate per annum equal to a LIBOR rate determined by reference to the costs of funds for U.S. dollar deposits for the interest period relevant to such borrowing adjusted for certain additional costs, in each case plus 3% per annum. In addition to paying interest on outstanding principal under the Sponsor Line, the company was required to pay a standby fee of 0.5% per annum in respect of the unutilized commitments thereunder, payable quarterly in arrears.

The company was permitted to voluntarily reduce the unutilized portion of the commitment amount and repay outstanding loans under the Sponsor Line at any time without premium or penalty, other than customary “breakage” costs. Under certain circumstances, the company may be required to prepay amounts outstanding under the Sponsor Line.

During the three and nine months period ended September 30, 2020 and 2019, the company made no draws on the Sponsor Line. As at December 31, 2019, there were no amounts drawn under the Sponsor Line.

The sponsor line was terminated upon the completion of the TerraForm Power acquisition.

TERP Relationship Agreement

TerraForm Power entered into a relationship agreement, referred to as the TERP Relationship Agreement, dated October 16, 2017 with Brookfield Asset Management, which governs certain aspects of the relationship between Brookfield Asset Management and TerraForm Power. Pursuant to the TERP Relationship Agreement, Brookfield Asset Management agreed that TerraForm Power will serve as the primary vehicle through which Brookfield Asset Management and certain of its affiliates will own operating wind and solar assets in North America and Western Europe and that Brookfield Asset Management will provide, subject to certain terms and conditions, TerraForm Power with a right of first offer on certain operating wind and solar assets that are located in such countries and developed by persons sponsored by or under the control of Brookfield Asset Management. The rights of TerraForm Power under the TERP Relationship Agreement were subject to certain exceptions and consent rights set out therein.

TerraForm Power did not acquire any renewable energy facilities pursuant to the TERP Relationship Agreement from Brookfield Asset Management during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2020 and 2019.

The TERP Relationship Agreement was terminated upon the completion of the TerraForm Power acquisition.

TERP Registration Rights Agreement

TerraForm Power also entered into a registration rights agreement, referred to as the TERP Registration Rights Agreement, on October 16, 2017 with Orion Holdings. The TERP Registration Rights Agreement governs the rights and obligations of TerraForm Power, on the one hand, and Brookfield Asset Management and its affiliates, on the other hand, with respect to the registration for resale of all or a part of the TERP common stock held by Brookfield Asset Management or any of its affiliates that become party to the TERP Registration Rights Agreement.

On June 11, 2018, Orion US Holdings 1 L.P. ("Orion Holdings"), Brookfield BRP Holdings (Canada) Inc. ("NA HoldCo") and TerraForm Power entered into a Joinder Agreement pursuant to which NA HoldCo became a party to the TERP Registration Rights Agreement.

("BBHC Orion") and TerraForm Power pursuant to which BBHC Orion became a party to the TERP Registration Rights Agreement.

The TERP Registration Rights Agreement was terminated upon the completion of the TerraForm Power acquisition.

New Terra LLC Agreement

TerraForm Power and BRE Delaware, Inc. entered into an amended and restated limited liability company agreement of TerraForm Power, LLC, referred to as the New Terra LLC Agreement, dated October 16, 2017. The New Terra LLC Agreement, among other things, reset the incentive distribution right, or IDR, thresholds of TerraForm Power, LLC to establish a first distribution threshold of $0.93 per share of TERP common stock and a second distribution threshold of $1.05 per share of TERP common stock. As a result of the New Terra LLC Agreement, amounts distributed from TerraForm Power, LLC are distributed on a quarterly basis as follows:

•first, to TerraForm Power in an amount equal to TerraForm Power’s outlays and expenses for such quarter;

•second, to holders of TerraForm Power, LLC Class A units, referred to as Class A units, until an amount has been distributed to such holders of Class A units that would result, after taking account of all taxes payable by TerraForm Power in respect of the taxable income attributable to such distribution, in a distribution to holders of shares of TERP common stock of $0.93 per share (subject to further adjustment for distributions, combinations or subdivisions of shares of TERP common stock) if such amount were distributed to all holders of shares of TERP common stock;

•third, 15% to the holders of the IDRs pro rata and 85% to the holders of Class A units until a further amount has been distributed to holders of Class A units in such quarter that would result, after taking account of all taxes payable by TerraForm Power in respect of the taxable income attributable to such distribution, in a distribution to holders of shares of TERP common stock of an additional $0.12 per share (subject to further adjustment for distributions, combinations or subdivisions of shares of TERP common stock) if such amount were distributed to all holders of shares of TERP common stock; and

•thereafter, 75% to holders of Class A units pro rata and 25% to holders of the IDRs pro rata.

TerraForm Power made no IDR payments during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2020 and 2019.

The New Terra LLC Agreement was amended upon the completion of the TerraForm Power acquisition to remove TerraForm Power, LLC’s obligations to make IDR payments.

During the current period, there were no draws on the committed unsecured revolving credit facility provided by Brookfield Asset Management. Brookfield Asset Management may from time to time place funds on deposit with Brookfield Renewable which are repayable on demand including any interest accrued. There were no funds placed on deposit with Brookfield Renewable during the nine months ended September 30, 2020 (2019: $600 million, which was fully repaid within the period).
